    This episode kind of captures the essence of Easy Italian. Just repeating these videos and watching a dozen over the last few months has helped my "ear" for Italian and also taught me some "chunks" which is starting to make this language comprehensible! Thank you, Katie and Matteo!

    In addition to talking to yourself in your head, it helps to talk out loud, too. This way you get use to hearing yourself say things with sounds you don't normally make. Doing this in front of a mirror gives you the sense of talking to another person but it isn't necessary.

  • @verseau8360
    @verseau8360 3 роки тому +48

    When I first started watching your videos I didn’t strive to understand everything you said. I thought of it like a marinade. I just watched, tried to understand some, and then later watched another. My “marinading” is working. I’m slowly absorbing it all without getting frustrated or too self-critical.

    My native language is Persian (Farsi). For my second language, I used the "thinking technique" that you mentioned and it did wonders!
    Although I just did it because I didn't have anyone to talk to, in the end, I realized that It had helped me a lot. And when it came down to the actual speaking, I would speak much more fluently as if I had already practiced the lines.
    So Italian is gonna be my third language and by applying those same techniques that I used for English, I find that my Italian learning process has been a lot smoother.

    • @JohnMoseley

    I was born in Rome but left at 18 months old, so if I learned any Italian then, I forgot it. But listening to it without trying to understand is super relaxing for me, as if it brings me back to an early childhood state of revery where you're just ultra receptive (or 'absorbent'). I guess I should try the same with some other languages and see if I feel the same.

    Thank you so much for this video. I am currently using Rosetta Stone to learn Italian, which is using the 'learn as you would if you were a child' approach, lots of repetition, no grammatical rules, you kind of figure it out as you go along. I supplement that course with listening to lots of music, vlogs, TV shows etc, just like I did when I did not speak English yet (I am Dutch living in the UK). And of course your videos and the FB group help a great deal to connect with others and to learn a bit more about the 'why' and 'how'. Thank you!

Good point about how children learn. I get disheartened and want to give up. You give reassurance. Matteo , do you do the same with English. If you reply, please in Italian so I can practice, even if I have to look up every word! 😀

    Hi guys, this episode states what I have always thought is the best way to learn a language. The Absorption part. The Automation part. The reference to children learning without the grammar. I think most schools err by teaching scholasticly (if that exist) . For me the trick was exposure to English sounds... listening to records with lyrics in both languages expanded my vocabulary and taught me how to pronounce even fast tongue twisters. Having TV on whenever I was indoors allowed me to finally hear the separation between words at the end of US stay. When people ask me how I learned English so well (I am mother language Italian) I tell them by immersion. I did not hang out with Italians when in the US, I did not read in Italian (I still read mostly in English) I totally embraced English. It is my go-to language actually though some Italian sayings are irresistible. I know my chickens is one! :-) or Perdersi in un bicchier d'acqua! LOL!
    I love your series they explain so much about language, Italian culture and the process of learning. Great job! Katie, your pronunciation is excellent!!!!

    grazie ragazzi...sono un americano che vivo qui in italia. ho consigliato vostro bel lavoro agli amici! al inizio anche io cercato per i modi migliori di smettere di tradurre in mia testa, i vostri consigli sono buonissimi. due altri che ho trovato sono di guardare i film, prima quelli che ho già conosciuto in inglese, doppiati in italiano, poi alle fine in italiano, per vedere come le parole sono assaporato...secondo, coraggio! parla, parla, parla...qualsiasi parole che avrei potuto mettere in fila di dire, dirla! più che parla, più che diventa naturale. a volta mi sono trovato dicendo le coniugazioni che non ho studiato mai, la logica della grammatica italiana arriverà! probabile la vostra "a" per "accettazione" sarebbe quella più importante, avrò sempre mio accento, e farò sempre qualche errore...anche i italiani fanno!

  • @jonathanvida2036

    Grazie! I'm trying to learn from my kids on how to approach italian. My youngest, 2, repeats everything I say. My oldest, 4, will constantly make the same mistakes like 'I goed' because we add '-ed' to most past verbs so irregular verbs in English confuses her. Così, repeat, repeat and try getting the point across and hopefully someone will correct your italian. We have to act like kids in learning all new languages with patience and practice. Good luck everyone!

    Non ho problemi con assorbire ed automatizzare l'italiano. Ho un amico italiano che vive a Como a cui mando spesso dei messaggi vocali. L'unica problema è accettare che non posso dire tutto che voglio dire. Quando parliamo delle cose un po più profondo, a un certo punto noto che il mio italiano semplicemente non basta per spiegare i miei sentimenti o opinioni. Questo mi fa impazzire.
